Explore the conservation implications of recent armed conflicts in
the tropical forest regions of Asia, Africa, and Latin America!
From the lowland rainforests of the Colombian Amazon to the rugged
habitat of Rwanda's mountain gorillas, civil, ethnic, and
international wars have had severe impacts on tropical forests and
the communities they sustain. The reemergence of war and the
persistence of its impacts have led many conservationists to
reassess their efforts and adapt their strategies to a new set of
responsibilities and urgent challenges. War and Tropical Forests:
Conservation in Areas of Armed Conflict explores these challenges
and the lessons learned by conservationists working in conflict
zones around the world. It combines case studies and comparative
analyses by leading experts in ecological research, environmental
policy, and conservation field programs to provide insight into the
environmental dimensions of recent social, political, and
humanitarian crises. War and Tropical Forests reviews lessons
learned from conflict zones around the world and explores: the
potential of conservation to reduce the frequency, duration, and
impact of war preparation of conservation programs and local
communities for crises strategies for maintaining conservation
capacity during times of conflict the underlying political and
economic factors that fuel war legal mechanisms for addressing
wartime damage to tropical forests building partnerships amidst
civil strife and political upheaval This essential book also
examines: the Indonesian military's role in illegal logging and
deforestation violent conflict and gorilla poaching in the
Democratic Republic of Congo armed movements and forest
conservation in Nicaragua's largest protected area and much more!
War and Tropical Forests also addresses the role of militaries in
the inequitable control and illicit use of forest resources, the
environmental impact of refugees, the growing social and
environmental costs of efforts to eradicate drug crops, and the
impact of conflict on protected area management in the habitat of
Africa's endangered great apes. War and Tropical Forests is an
essential resource for conservation practitioners and policymakers,
as well as anyone involved with human rights, conflict resolution,
rural development, international law, or foreign relations.
